Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 145 Lock her up

It was almost 8 o'clock when we got back to the guesthouse.

The road was still visible from outside, but the room was very dark.

Jiang Moli casually flipped the light switch, the switch clicked, but the light didn't turn on.

"Is it a power outage, or did the filament burn out?"

"There must be a power outage. I'll go light some candles."

After lighting the candles, Lu Cheng turned around and saw Jiang Moli had gone to the balcony, where she was looking up and not moving.

Curious, he walked over, holding a candle. "What are you looking at?"

"There are so many stars tonight, it's so beautiful."

Lu Cheng looked up as she spoke, and the dark gray sky was filled with twinkling stars.

He had seen far more dazzling and vast starry skies than this.

I don't find anything interesting about it.

But if his wife likes to watch it, then he'll watch it with her.

He blew out the candle and looked up at the night sky.

"Lu Cheng, shall I sing you a song from our area?"

Lu Cheng's attention was so drawn to the "singing" that he failed to notice Jiang Moli's implied meaning.

"it is good."

Jiang Moli softly sang: "The stars in the sky are silent, the children on the ground miss their mothers... Every night I think of my mother's words, glistening tears like lupine flowers..."

Before she could finish singing, Lu Cheng pulled her into his arms.

A warm kiss landed on her head, carrying a comforting scent: "Missed Mom?"

"Ah."

Lu Cheng whispered in her ear, "When I go back on vacation, I'll take you to see Mom."

Jiang Moli replied, "You can't go to that place."

Lu Cheng lowered his eyes: "Why don't you just take me there?"

"I can't explain it to you clearly."

"Then don't talk about it."

Lu Cheng didn't dwell on this issue because he didn't think it was a problem.

How difficult is it to visit your mother-in-law's grave?
He was actually thinking about something else. "Jasmine, have you ever considered staying here with the army?"

"I thought about it."

"Really? Is it because you've discovered my good qualities after spending these past few days together? Or have you fallen in love with this place and want to stay and live with me?"

Jiang Moli blinked. "I was just saying."

Not wanting to see the disappointment on the man's face, she looked away and gazed into the distance.

After a brief silence, a passionate kiss landed on her earlobe.

“It’s good for you to stay at home. Here, I can’t take care of you all the time. We often go out on missions, sometimes for three to five days or even half a month at a time.”

Jiang Moli asked him, "Are you going to stay here indefinitely?"

"I might be transferred to another place in the future, it depends on the organization's arrangements."

Lu Cheng asked her about the song she had just sung, "What's the song title? I've never heard it before."

Jiang Moli: "Just humming whatever comes to mind."

"I think it sounds great, and you sing well too. Since the school doesn't have a music teacher yet, why don't you temporarily fill in?"

"I won't be staying here for more than a few days."

"Teach them one day at a time, just teach them until they learn this song."

Even if you can't keep your wife, it's good to keep the songs she sings.

Gazing at the increasingly deep starry sky, Jiang Moli finally remembered her adopted younger brother: "How's Xiaopeng doing lately? Can I see him before I leave?"

"You don't have to wait that long. After every six days of training, the new recruits will have a day off. I'll bring him out then and take you all to town for a stroll."

Jiang Moli nodded, "Okay."

……

"Disband!"

Upon hearing the dismissal order, the new recruits ran back to the barracks like wild horses.

Time to eat!
For the seventeen or eighteen-year-old recruits who are still growing and undergoing intense training every day, eating is undoubtedly the happiest and most blissful thing!

Jiang Peng hunched over, head bowed, mingling among his comrades.

"Jiang Peng!"

Hearing his squad leader shout from behind, Jiang Peng pretended not to hear and ran even faster.

"Jiang Peng, you son of a bitch, still running? Are you disobeying military orders?" Seeing his comrades looking at him, Jiang Peng had no choice but to stop reluctantly.

"Squad leader, what's up?"

"Stop pretending! You still have two extra laps to run!"

Jiang Peng touched his stomach and pretended to be pitiful, "I'm so hungry I can't run. Can I eat something first and then come back to run?"

Liu Jinlong glared and roared, "No! You're not allowed to eat until you finish the run! Hurry up and run!"

Jiang Peng got angry: "Everyone else was only punished with one day for being late, why am I being punished with six days? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

"This is the battalion commander's instruction. If you have any objections, you can talk to the battalion commander, but you have to finish today's extra training first."

"Fuck you!"

Liu Jinlong pointed at him: "Swearing, 1 point deducted from conduct score!"

"..."

Not far away, Lu Cheng and Yang Xinjun, the commander of the new recruits' regiment, were looking at the parade ground.

"This kid is physically fit, with top-notch stamina and endurance. He's just lazy, loves to cheat, and is afraid of hardship."

Yang Xinjun's assessment of Jiang Peng was roughly the same as Lu Cheng's estimate.

He could tell at first glance that Jiang Peng was a promising talent.

Later, he became his brother-in-law, and he decided to cultivate him properly.

"Commander Yang, I'm entrusting this kid to you. Consider it a favor I owe you."

"Easy to say."

After running two extra laps, Jiang Peng lifted his shirt to wipe his sweat as he headed back to the barracks.

As he walked, he noticed that the person in front of him looked remarkably like his brother-in-law.

Upon closer inspection, it really was his brother-in-law!

"Brother-in-law!"

Jiang Peng slid to his knees, grabbed Lu Cheng's leg, and cried his eyes out.

"Brother-in-law, those bastards bully me every day, you have to stand up for me!"

Lu Cheng pulled him up, his face serious: "What happened? Tell me."

Jiang Peng told Lu Cheng about the extra training he was getting every day.

After he finished speaking, Lu Cheng handed him two eggs.

Jiang Peng's eyes lit up. "Eggs? For me?"

"Eat up. Your sister is worried about you. She said she'll take you to town for a good meal when you have a day off."

Jiang Peng wolfed down the eggs while the chicks pecked at the rice and nodded.

Eggs are so delicious! One bite and I feel so energized. I could run ten laps, let alone two!
Lu Cheng looked at him and cleared his throat: "Xiao Peng, do you have any ideas on how to get your sister to stay in the army a little longer?"

Jiang Peng blinked. "Just lock her up and don't let her leave."

"..."

……

After Lu Tingting finished breakfast, she returned to the dormitory and saw Jiang Qing sitting at the small dining table eating breakfast. She went over and overturned the table.

Jiang Qing's lunchbox, which she had only taken two bites of, crashed to the ground with a clatter.

"Lu Tingting, what's wrong with you?!"

Lu Tingting laughed maliciously: "That's right, I'm crazy. I feel like going crazy whenever I see you. If you can't stand it, you can get lost. Don't let me see you again."

Despite being furious, Jiang Qing held back her anger, picked up the lunchbox from the ground, and prepared to leave.

"Wait, clean up the mess on the ground. It looks like dog poop, it's disgusting!"

Jiang Qing turned around angrily, "Lu Tingting, don't go too far. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

"You feel wronged already? I'm more wronged than you! If I hadn't taken the blame for you, I wouldn't be here doing this damn volunteer teaching job!"

Upon hearing the real reason why Lu Tingting came to Menghai, Jiang Qing felt both angry and regretful.

If she had known she would provoke that crazy old woman Lu Tingting, she would never have told those lies to Qiao Wenjing.

With her knowledge and abilities, plus her status as the battalion commander's sister-in-law, she could easily apply for a teaching position in the military without needing to rely on Qiao Wenjing's connections.

But it's too late to say anything now.

To avoid further conflict with Lu Tingting, Jiang Qing could only try to stay away from the dormitory.

She had nowhere else to go but to Feng Meihua's house.

Not far from home, I ran into a family member I knew.

Jiang Qing greeted the other person as usual, but the other person just gave her a strange and unfamiliar look and left.

Jiang Qing felt as if she had been slapped in the face, and her eyes welled up with tears.
